THE DISCUS !!!
The discus is like Anger Lite: it fills you up a bit, but you will never feel completely satisfied. Five minutes later, you'll want to drop-kick yourself in the face to let that magma gut of anger loose. The main problem lies in the fact that there is very little destruction involved in the discus. And if there is -- say you threw it through a fifth-story window at Trump Tower -- it's too far away to enjoy fully. (Monsterskate, of course, is not encouraging this.) It's considered a warm-up in the skateboard world. Dr. Christian Anthony of the world-famous Anger Institute laughed when asked if the discus was an appropriate form of release. "Please, stop, you're hurting my stomach," he said. "It's like throwing a rock when you need a bazooka. You accomplish very little. But," he added, "I do let my patients practice with the discus. It's good for beginners." click image for sequence (186k) 1. Stretch that back out. The discus involves a lot of those dumb back muscles that you never use unless you're a golfer or break-dancer. 2. Grab the truck around the kingpin. DO NOT grab a wheel -- it will spin in your hand, whipping your board around like a Cuisinart blade and lacerating your kidney. Peeing blood is not fun. The most important point of the discus is to maintain a firm grip until the moment of release. This is a bit harder after a few spins. 3. Start spinning to gain momentum. This trick is virtually impossible to execute if you're standing still. Think of those Olympic discus dudes with the spandex jumpsuits. 4. Open your arms up so the board will have even more momentum. 5. Keep a mental note of where you want the board to land. Never start a discus throw without picking a landing area. You don't want to spin around and just let loose -- that's how people end up on "Real TV" picking splinters out of their heads. 6. Release. Slow your spin so that you can watch the board sail through the air. If this doesn't do much to release your anger, pick up your board and go home and click on Monsterskate.com for more useful ways to employ your anger.
